The Boss is the owner. The Boss is the final decision maker. The Boss can overrule everyone else. The Boss solves all problems without referring to anyone else. There is no greater safety than having direct access to the Boss.
Many bosses are hard to reach. Many bosses have assistants who prevent people from accessing them. Many bosses never know that people are struggling to access them. Many bosses never know that bosses below them are making life hard for the people. Many of those suffering would have their problems solved if they could access the Boss. Therefore, having direct access to the Boss is the best news ever. You have direct access to the Boss.

A woman who was very sick, bleeding for twelve years. Seeking medical help in various places for twelve years without success. This woman knew that if she could access Jesus, her twelve year problem would be solved. The problem was that Jesus was surrounded by a huge thick crowd. She painfully pushed through and touched the hem of Jesus’s garment. She instantly recovered after having direct access to Jesus. At that moment, Jesus recognized her and gave her further direct access. Direct access brought healing. You have direct access to the Boss!
A man was struggling with sin and rejection. He heard about Jesus, but couldn’t access Him. When he heard that Jesus was passing by, he climbed up a Sycamore tree just to catch a glance of Jesus.

You have direct access to the Boss!
A king ruled on behalf of God. A prophet spoke on behalf of God. A priest represented people in the presence of God. Jesus was all the three but much more our priest representing us before God.

Because of Jesus, we have direct daily constant access to the highest authority that owns and runs the world. God owns and runs the world.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (NIV) – 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are —yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Come in time of need. Come confidently. You have direct access to the Boss and it shall be well. Prayer gives you and me daily direct access to the Boss. May we find grace to help us in time of need when we access the Boss today, in Jesus’s name, Amen!
